GloProfessionals Lash Lengthening Mascara Review







Lash lengthening mascara is formulated to deliver nutrients and help the lashes to grow to their potential. Use alone or apply Lash lengthening mascara after Lash thickener and conditioner for optimal results.
AVAILABILITY:  GloProfessionals
PRICE: $16.50 USD
VALUE FOR PRICE: 1/5
APPLICATION: 3.5/5
PACKAGING: 3/5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 3/5
OVERALL PRODUCT: 1/5 

PROS:
□ Provides antioxidants and Vitamins (A, C, E, and Green Tea extract)
□ Safe for contact lens wearers
□ Eyelashes felt more flexible rather than hard

CONS:
□ Didn't notice any eyelash growth
□ Didn't lengthen or thicken my lashes
□ Not waterproof

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
□ This mascara was pretty much a miss for me. I generally use this mascara under my false eyelashes because I would not wear this alone. It didn't do much for my lashes and it seemed like it only coated my lashes but didn't really provide any length or volume. The brush seemed to work okay at separating the lashes but the wand itself seemed pretty standard and had no special characteristic to it. Probably after the first coat, the mascara started to clump my lashes making them look uneven in size and direction. I tried to "declump" my lashes and move them to make them look more uniform but it just didn't work. If you're one who is looking for a natural finish type of mascara then you'll have no problem with this one.

VALUE FOR PRICE: 4/5
APPLICATION: 4/5
PACKAGING: 5/5
MEETS EXPECTATIONS: 4/5
OVERALL PRODUCT: 4/5 


PROS:
□ Includes a mix of different eyeshadow finishes (frosts and mattes)
□ Great for creating subtle everyday eyes to dramatic smokey eyes
□ Eyeshadows are smooth in texture
□ Eyeshadows are vibrant when packed on

CONS:
□ Some eyeshadows were too powdery
□ Matte colors were streaky if not applied evenly
□ Excess blending would make the shadows look muddy
□ Not the most pigmented, depending on the type of primer/base used
□ Pricey

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
□ For someone like myself who has tried all types of eyeshadows from drugstore to high end, I'm pretty particular about what I consider quality made products. This palette was just okay for me. It took me several tries to get the most out of it because I tried different primers and bases to find what worked best. I found that creamier bases work better for these shadows because it has something "sticky" to adhere to. So a base is a must in order for these shadows to show up because using them alone probably won't show up as much as one would like it to.

□ These shadows work better when they are packed on rather than swiped especially for building up intensity. That's why in the swatches they look really vibrant because I packed on a lot of eyeshadow to show you how intense it can be. But for someone who prefers subtle smokey eyes or a wash of color, then a quick swipe with a blending brush would justify. I think both who prefer simplicity or boldness could both benefit from this palette but I do prefer it more for people who are more into subtle looks. Nonetheless I think the color choices in this palette are spot on. I do love the neutral shades, plus the different finishes, and it would be great for bringing with me for travel as my all-in-one makeup palette.
